From c0e51d55d3c878807d27e5075c1e8bba5347a98b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael[tm] Smith" Date: Thu, 13 May 2021 10:21:58 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Mark all features from DNT spec deprecated The https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ spec never made it to W3C Recommendation; instead it was retired as a W3C Working Group Note: https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/NOTE-tracking-dnt-20190117/ In the W3C spec database its formal status is Retired: https://www.w3.org/TR/?tag=privacy&status=ret And the Status section of https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ itself says: > Since its last publication as a Candidate Recommendation, there has > not been sufficient deployment of these extensions (as defined) to > justify further advancement, nor have there been indications of planned > support among user agents, third parties, and the ecosystem at large. All of that is sufficient to merit the features being marked as deprecated in BCD. The affected features are: * the DNT HTTP request header * the Tk HTTP response header * the navigator.doNotTrack property Related MDN change: https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/4960 --- api/Navigator.json | 4 ++-- http/headers/dnt.json | 2 +- http/headers/tk.json | 2 +- 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/api/Navigator.json b/api/Navigator.json index 59d3054642f167..e733018b99923d 100644 --- a/api/Navigator.json +++ b/api/Navigator.json @@ -786,9 +786,9 @@ } }, "status": { - "experimental": true, + "experimental": false, "standard_track": true, - "deprecated": false + "deprecated": true } } }, diff --git a/http/headers/dnt.json b/http/headers/dnt.json index e264053a082be3..eec2826c81d204 100644 --- a/http/headers/dnt.json +++ b/http/headers/dnt.json @@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ "status": { "experimental": false, "standard_track": true, - "deprecated": false + "deprecated": true } } } diff --git a/http/headers/tk.json b/http/headers/tk.json index b02875fbc80866..52859f88ecb642 100644 --- a/http/headers/tk.json +++ b/http/headers/tk.json @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ "status": { "experimental": false, "standard_track": true, - "deprecated": false + "deprecated": true } } }
